The cream of the crop has risen to the top on moving day at the 2013 Wells Fargo Championship.

After shooting nine-under through the first two rounds, Phil Mickelson stayed near the top despite his game leveling off from what was a red-hot start to the tournament. He finished with a one-over round of 73 to put him at eight-under for the tournament.

Nick Watney also made an early surge Saturday to get into prime position heading into the final round, having birdied five of his first 11 holes. He finished tied atop the leaderboard with Mickelson at eight-under.

Mickelson and Watney are far from the only contenders who still have a shot at taking Rickie Fowler's crown. In fact, there are 14 golfers within three shots of the lead.

Let's take a look at the leaderboard from Day 3 at Quail Hollow.

Points and Jason Kokrak also at five-under. 

 

Here are the biggest highlights from Saturday's action, as well as the storylines that will simmer heading into the final round.

 

Watney's Surge



Despite finishing with a double bogey Saturday, Watney had himself a great round and has gotten in great position to steal the victory on Sunday.

The 32-year-old had a brilliant putt on the first hole, dropping in a 28-footer for a birdie. 



That shot got him going for what would be a stellar front-nine.

Watney may not be a household name, but his five PGA Tour victories speak for themselve...
